You ask me have I, and my open and my honest answer air, I have. The first and second floors is wacant, and sweet rooms. 'Come, come! There's nothing against THEM, said Mr. Grewgious, comforting himself. 'Mr. Grewgious, replied Mrs. Billickin, 'pardon me, there is the stairs. Unless your mind is prepared for the stairs, it will lead to inevitable disappointment. You cannot, Miss, said Mrs.
But commit myself to a solitary female statement, no, Miss! Nor would you for a moment wish, said Mrs. Billickin, with a strong sense of injury, 'to take that advantage of your sex, if you were not brought to it by inconsiderate example. Rosa reddening as if she had made some most disgraceful attempt to overreach the good lady, besought Mr. Grewgious to rest content with any signature.
Billickin, 'if I was to tell you, sir, that to have nothink above you is to have a floor above you, I should put a deception upon you which I will not do. No, sir. Your slates WILL rattle loose at that elewation in windy weather, do your utmost, best or worst! I defy you, sir, be you what you may, to keep your slates tight, try how you can. Here Mrs. Billickin, having been warm with Mr.
'I did think it well to mention to my cook, observed the Billickin with a gush of candour, 'which I 'ope you will agree with, Miss Twinkleton, was a right precaution, that the young lady being used to what we should consider here but poor diet, had better be brought forward by degrees.
Something at which you can get your equal chance. Occasionally the game would wax very brisk indeed, and would be kept up with a smartness rendering such an encounter as this quite tame. But the Billickin almost invariably made by far the higher score; and would come in with side hits of the most unexpected and extraordinary description, when she seemed without a chance.
Before retiring, Miss, proclaimed the Billickin to Rosa, loftily cancelling Miss Twinkleton, 'I should wish it to be understood between yourself and me that my transactions in future is with you alone. I know no elderly lady here, Miss, none older than yourself. 'A highly desirable arrangement, Rosa my dear, observed Miss Twinkleton.
Billickin, 'and acts as such, and go from it I will not. Mr. Grewgious stared at Rosa. 'No, Mr. Grewgious, you must excuse me. So long as this 'ouse is known indefinite as Billickin's, and so long as it is a doubt with the riff-raff where Billickin may be hidin', near the street-door or down the airy, and what his weight and size, so long I feel safe.
'Thank you, quite well. And you, ma'am? returned Mr. Grewgious. 'I am as well, said Mrs. Billickin, becoming aspirational with excess of faintness, 'as I hever ham. 'My ward and an elderly lady, said Mr. Grewgious, 'wish to find a genteel lodging for a month or so. Have you any apartments available, ma'am? 'Mr. Grewgious, returned Mrs. Billickin, 'I will not deceive you; far from it.
'When I have any desire to communicate a request to the person of the house, Rosa my dear, observed Miss Twinkleton with majestic cheerfulness, 'I will make it known to you, and you will kindly undertake, I am sure, that it is conveyed to the proper quarter. 'Good-evening, Miss, said the Billickin, at once affectionately and distantly.
Personal faintness, and an overpowering personal candour, were the distinguishing features of Mrs. Billickin's organisation. She came languishing out of her own exclusive back parlour, with the air of having been expressly brought-to for the purpose, from an accumulation of several swoons. 'I hope I see you well, sir, said Mrs. Billickin, recognising her visitor with a bend.
